Punica Granatum by kmbell92

Daughter of Goddess Demeter and the God Zeus, Queen of the Underworld, known for her naive yet kind nature, as well as her beauty. She caught the eye of Hades, the God of the Underworld, who wanted nothing more than to make the beautiful maiden his wife. After struggling to take Persephone away from her mother, Hades finally had the love of his life at last. He assumed that once Persephone swallowed the six seeds of the pomegranate that she would be his forever. However, it was not the case. Kore Caras has always been aware of her talented green thumb, although while the people of her town know her to be a talented florist, there is so much more to the young woman. At an early age, Kore discovered her talent among plant life, how she could make even a wilting flower bloom at her will. Running a successful floral shop in town, everything seems to be going smoothly for the young woman as the days of summer draw to an end. But everything starts to take a drastic turn when Kore discovers what appears to be pomegranate seeds outside of her front door.

❝Within a battle between Gods.❞ For centuries, lord Hades of the Underworld has mastered one job no one else can perfect as he did; summon the lost souls of the dead to his terrifying domain, and have them judged for each to enter the one afterlife, they truly deserve. But instead of being grateful for his service, everyone - Gods and Mortals alike - has forgotten about him and how important his job is. No longer do the Olympians invite him over to Olympus for their meetings, nor do mortals pay attention to the forgotten god. However, the last straw came when the Olympians schemed against him and took away the only thing that ever made him happy. And so, he decided to teach them a lesson about who is the superior God. ─────────── COVER MADE BY @cravdesire NOT A '𝘗𝘌𝘙𝘊𝘠 𝘑𝘈𝘊𝘒𝘚𝘖𝘕' FANFICTION COPYRIGHT © 2024 NATALIA TAYLOR

Halves by StarkAsphodels

Isolation can be devastating. But love...can destroy everything around you. For Persephone, isolation is being kept under the suffocating gaze of her mother, treated like a child and forbidden from interaction with her own kind or the mortal people under her care. For Hades, isolation is a deadly gift, a silent and lifeless kingdom that he alone rules -- and that cuts him off from all that he would consider family. But when the winds of chance throw two love-starved souls together, it heralds the end of the universe as they know it.... #1 in HadesxPersephone (09/18/22) #2 in Persephone (09/27/22)
